With the withdrawal of the Democratic Republic of Congo, there was only one game played on Friday again. Angola was eliminated by Marian Coulibaly and Mali 65-45, leaving the rest of the tournament with simple scenarios. The other four teams advance with the Mali-Senegal and Mozambique-Nigeria matchups on Saturday being for placement on Sunday.

The eight teams remaining were split into two groups in two locations. The United States and one other team from its group will advance while the top two teams in the other group will join them.
Group A:
Isalys Quinones and Puerto Rico had a great start in Edmonton, beating the Dominican Republic 108-58. The last game of the day had no surprises as hosts Canada breezed past Cuba 110-53 behind Kia Nurse.

Group B:
This group started play on Thursday as all the teams did make it to Bahia Blanca. The United States found the strong inside-outside combination of Sylvia Fowles and Chelsea Gray in a 76-61 win over Brazil. The balance of power in South America may now have decisively turned behind the usual powerhouse as Colombia beat Agostina Burani and hosts Argentina 67-63 behind Mabel Martinez.

Teams descended on Maputo to determine which two teams would move on to the last stage of Olympic qualifications. Things got off to an inauspicious start on Thursday when the Democratic Republic of Congo could not arrange the necessary funds to field a team against Nigeria. The one game that was played was an excellent one though as Angola started well, but Senegal fought back to win 75-71.

Both groups started play on Thursday as the teams fight for three spots alongside Japan in the next round.
Group A:
The first action in the new format came in Auckland and it was a great game as Park Ji-Su and Kim Jung-Eun helped South Korea fend off China 81-80. The other game was far less dramatic as hosts New Zealand eased past the Philippines 111-54.

Group B:
The other group played on neutral ground in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Australia coasted past Taiwan 84-51. Japan gets some valuable preparation time ahead of hosting the main tournament, but that might not have been accomplished when Kiho Miyashita led them past India 120-29.

Sunday started with Australia salvaging a medal after Rebecca Allen led them past South Korea 98-62. That set up the final game and it more than delivered on expectations as Nako Motohashi was the difference for Japan, retaining the title with a 71-68 win over China.

Semifinals:
The first semifinal was a rematch of the last final and Australia had revenge on their mind early, but Nako Motohashi helped Japan get the same result, advancing with a 76-64 win. China took care of business in the other game, beating South Korea 80-52. The groups were also drawn for the Olympic Qualifying tournaments. Due to the lack of a Division B tournament, India was given the last spot. They were drawn into Group B with Japan, Australia, and Taiwan. Group A will consist of South Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines, and China.
